#145 Capitalist by Day, Spiritual by Night - Alex Hardy on achievement, Wall Street, tech startups, exiting his company, pride & suffering, his sabbatical, suppressing his curiosity and rediscovering
Alex was crushing it early in his career, ending up on Wall Street after getting a combined JD/MBA. But after a few years, he went looking for his next mountain, aiming his ambition at the tech sector. He ended up co-founding LiveOak, a company he eventually sold in 2020. After that, he struggled to determine what was next and finally decided to walk away from more than a million dollars. Now he's embracing non-doing, reconnecting with his passions, and figuring out what's next. 🎥🍿 YOUTUBE: WATCH HERELinks:Twitter: @CantHardyWait⌛TIMESTAMPS(01:08) - The scripts Alex grew up with (10:06) - Law School & Business School (22:41) - Wall Street, Banking & The Pride in suffering (30:55) - Tech Start-ups, coffee meetings and friendlessness (56:19) - Exiting his tech company & "Total Work" (01:14:24) - His Sabbatical, Finding Work Worth Doing & The American Mind (01:21:05) - Forgotten Hobbies, Borders & The Love for The Present (01:29:02) - Closing remarks 📘 GOOD WORK: LIVE! => Learn More📕 Buy Paul’s Book (50k+ Sold): The Pathless Path😁 Join Hundreds On Unconventional Paths: Pathless Path Community📲Connect + Follow PaulTwitter: @p_millerdInstagram: @pathlesspaulPaul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (23k+ People)Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast:Accounting, Taxes, And Payroll For Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): CollectiveLooking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?
